He's Six Years Older Than Me
A young woman is attempting her first STI kit and this clinical act becomes a confession. Their ages, professions, maybe star signs? She clings to these superficial information as if they might offer explanations for her “mistakes” or “poor choices”. While she unfolds the quiet power dynamics that shaped her sexual history, the nature of the question transforms: ‘He’s six years older than me.’ So was he and so was he. How is that relevant in this situation, in this conversation, in this performance?

Reviews
- Rose Thompson — ★★★★★ (5/5) — July 18, 2026
This intimate, metaphorically rich and provoking play stumbles toward the conclusion that desire does not amount to consent. The sweet and sour sensory juxtapositions and disorientating storytelling effectively plunges you into the romantic experiences of a young woman.
